February 19, 1962 – January 12, 2025
January 12, 2025, I lost my Brother 😢. What will I do, where can I call for advice, a good laugh, a vicious fight or a ride to a medical appointment?
David was predeceased by his Father in 83 and his Mother in 84. He leaves behind his sister Darcey (Brian), his niece Chantal (Jayson) and cousins in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto and numerous lifelong friends, from school and work.
I am hearing good words from his co-workers and friends. He was dedicated to his work life to SUPERSTORE since 1984 and to CANADA LIFE, working for various food service vendors, for almost 30+ years.
Chantal and Jayson have taken in his cat Tat and she is slowly adapting to the new environment. Still waiting to see how Walter accepts her.
I’m still trying to accept this horrible situation and what changes will happen with him now gone. The tears are flowing, the grief is getting heavy, and the concrete shoes are firmly encased around my feet. This will be a blur by next year.
At this time, there are no plans for a ceremony. A private graveside burial will follow in the spring.
Flowers are gratefully declined, but should you wish to make a donation in his memory please donate to the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Winnipeg Humane Society.
This song is for you, my brother!!!! ❤️❤️

I worked with David at Canada Life centre as a bartender for many years. We had many interesting conversations. I will miss his many stories and I enjoyed his stories about his shifts at Superstore and the different products he was receiving.
My condolances to the family.
I’m so sorry to hear of David’s passing. My deepest condolences go to his sister Darcy, family, closest friends (everyone felt close) and coworkers.
My sisters and I went to Faraday elementary school with David. We moved back to the city & hung out throughout 78/79 at our home on Boyd till I moved to BC. Through visits back home I also had opportunity to meet up.
David will always be remembered as friendly, jovial, easy to be friends with and his loving sarcastic attitude! “Chester” you will be missed!
I am so sorry to hear of David’s passing. I knew him through his sister Darcy then became hus across the backlane neighbor. My family will miss the chats we had over the fence. Rest in Paradise David.
My heartfelt condolences Darcy, Brian and Chantal. He was a good friend for many decades and though he took a new path in recent years I am glad he can now be reunited with his great Mom after so long. Thanks Dave for all your friendship and help. May your new journey serve you well. Take Care and God bless.
I have worked with David as a supervisor and friend at the old winnipeg arena and MTs Centre. I kno longer work there but whenever i go i always stood by to see him to see how he was doing. Enjoyed working with him. RIP David
